Treasure Island Music Festival: A Wealth of Awesomeness
Forget sex and drugs; these days, it is possible to overdose on music festivals. This Summer, you could probably attend a different fest every weekend and discover something new every time. Meanwhile, I've just been pining for the amazing shows I'm missing in countless other cities.
Song of the Day: M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel, "Get to the Border"
You probably know by now that I have a major girl-crush on Zooey Deschanel, and I'm also intensely smitten with M. Ward, the boyish yet poignant singer-songwriter whose Post-War was one of my top 20 albums of last year. So, I'm really have trouble containing my excitement about this duet between the singer and the actress I just discovered via The Music Slut.
Song of the Day: Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins, "Handle With Care"
One of the more exciting things about today's independent rock scene is the way it fosters new musical collectives, from the multi-spoked community surrounding Broken Social Scene to the collaborations between M. Ward, Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes, and Jenny Lewis of Rilo Kiley. The latter is personified by this Traveling Wilburys cover, "Handle With Care."

Not every year can be a great year for music, and 2006 was just okay. It didn't help that this year was sandwiched between 2005—which gave us great albums by Kanye West, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and Sufjan Stevens—and 2007, which promises new releases from Wilco, Arcade Fire, and Timbaland. While choosing my Top 10 for the year was a cinch, coming up with the bottom 10 was tough.

Buzz In: Which Actors Have Made Albums You Like?
Earlier this week, I gave the Dead Man's Bones debut album a listen. You may not recognize the band name, but you probably recognize the frontman: it's actor Ryan Gosling. I'm a big Gosling fan, but I wasn't expecting his music to have any substance, or for me to actually like it.
